Where Kuwait's land ends up, by people and by money
Every block on the map is 0.1% of Kuwait. By land, Al Farwaniyah holds 1.3%. By people, it holds 32%. Al Jahrah goes the other way, from 70% of the land to 8.6% of the people. By GDP, Al Ahmadi punches above its population: 18% of the people, 24% of the economy.
GDP for Kuwait is modelled from its national total, so the GDP map mostly repeats the population map.
| Region | Land | People | GDP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Farwaniyah | 1.3 | 32 | 28 |
| Hawalli | 0.40 | 22 | 22 |
| Al Ahmadi | 28 | 18 | 24 |
| Al Asimah | 0.60 | 10 | 9.5 |
| Mubarak Al-Kabeer | 0.30 | 9.1 | 10 |
| Al Jahrah | 70 | 8.6 | 6.2 |
How the map is made
Regions are drawn on an equal-area grid of about 1,000 blocks. For land, each region keeps the blocks its territory covers. For people and GDP, the country is reshaped so every region gets a whole number of blocks in proportion to its share (Hamilton's largest-remainder method), keeping neighbours next to each other. Then every block is matched to one block on the next map, so you watch the same thousand blocks rearrange.
